Swedish vodka no longer Swedish

There aren't that many world wide known Swedish products left to be proud of as a Swedish Alien. IKEA is of course still going strong. But SAAB is owned by GM, Volvo by Ford. Eriksson makes their phones with Sony and ABBA will never reunite.

This is where I grew up. 8506 km from California. Europe's fourth largest country in size, but tiny in population. Only 9 million of us. Meeting a Swede should probably be considered being unique! A part of my heart will always be here.
